Question

Find k so that x2 + 2x + k is a factor of 2x4 + x3 – 14 x2 + 5x + 6. Also find all the zeroes of the two polynomials.

Sum

Solution

Using division algorithm, we get

                      `2x^2 - 3x + (-8 - 2k)`
`x^2 + 2x + k")"overline(2x^4 + x^3 - 14x^2 + 5x + 6)`
                      2x4 + 4x3 + 2kx2
                      (–)  (–)     (–)
                                                                           
                           –3x3 – (2k + 14)x2 + 5x + 6
                           –3x3 – 6x2              – 3kx
                           (+)  (+)                  (+)

                                                                             
                           (–8 – 2k)x2 + (3k + 5)x + 6
                           (–8 – 2k)x2 + 2(–8 – 2k)x + k(–8 – 2k)
                           (–)             (–)                  (–)

                                                                              
                                   (7k + 21)x + (6 + 8k + 2k2)

Since, (x2 + 2x + k) is a factor of 2x4 + x3 – 14x2 + 5x + 6

So, remainder should be zero.

⇒ (7k + 21 )x + (2k2 + 8k + 6) = 0 – x + 0

⇒ 7k + 21 = 0 and 2k2 + 8k + 6 = 0

⇒ k = –3 or k2 + 4k + 3 = 0

⇒ k2 + 3k + k + 3 = 0

⇒ (k + 1)(k + 3) = 0

⇒ k = –1 or –3

For k = –3, remainder is zero.

∴ The required value of k = –3.

Also, dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder

⇒ 2x4 + x3 – 14x2 + 5x + 6 = (x2 + 2x – 3)(2x2 – 3x – 2)

= (x2 + 3x – x – 3)(2x2 – 4x + x – 2)

= (x – 1)(x + 3)(x – 2)(2x + 1)

Hence, the zeroes of x2 + 2x – 3 are 1, –3 and the zeroes of 2x2 – 3x – 2 are `2, - 1/2`.

Thus, the zeroes of 2x4 + x3 – 14x2 + 5x + 6 are 1, –3, `- 1/2`.
